Just when fans think that Carrie has become a traitor for the country that she loved so much and could do anything to protect it. The producers planned for a major twist. She is not just a simple spy or analyst anymore. She is leaking information from the heart of the Kremlin. The job that could put veteran spies to shame.
The show has now come to an end but the finale episode was nothing sort of a perfect climax that fans could only dream of. Is Carrie something of another Edward Snowden in making or the ultimate spy who can go to any limits to stop wars?
Homeland: mirror of American foreign policies
The series which began in 2011 with a focus on America’s global war on terror following 9/11 has morphed into something very different today. It followed America’s foreign policy very closely. It showed American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan and also the fatal mistakes done by the policymakers.
Season 8 finale explained
The Homeland season 8 finale is set two years apart from the rest of the episodes in the series. Carrie is preparing a book that contains the secret of the government of the United States titled, Tyranny of Secrets. Seeing a former operative and as patriotic as Carrie turning to Russians can be the worst possible nightmare for fans. Some cannot even believe it is the truth ? or is the preparation of another move in the spy world?
Carrie has sacrificed everything she once loved. Her friends, her nation, her mentor, and even her daughter all seem to be a thing of distant past. She is now the poster child for Russian propaganda now. She is ready to sing tales like a canary on orders of the Russian masters. But is it the complete truth?
Carrie Mathison is taking the place of former American asset Anna Pomerantseva. Anna’s identity was disclosed by Carrie to prevent war on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Now American intelligence did not have any idea about their enemy’s idea as well as a personal loss for Saul. So in order to make up for her deeds, Carrie has joined hands with the Russians to secretly provide inputs for her handler Saul.
Well it seems there is no retirement for people in the spy world. Specifically, people like Carrie cannot rest and sacrifices are a just a small thing for them,
